It's good that you are settling in where you are and making the most of it.Thanks Olly...We visited Australia in 2000 just before the Olympics, was a wonderful vibe in Sydney!We came on a business/cum holiday trip, started in Perth, then up to Cairns then down to Sydney, was lovely and it felt like home to me!Am aiming to visit soon in the next five yrs, aiming to make a trip to New Zealand to see our friends and also friends in Melbourne and Adelaide.Yes we are making the most of it, my son has been here since he was three and is quite happily settled in his 3rd yr of high school.We do a trip to South Africa once a yr to see the family which is cool!Chat soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sunshine Sister Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 was a wonderful vibe in Sydney!Hey there Icemaiden,Welcome to our forum ! Ooooh girl, if you thought it had a nice vibe in 2000, you should see it now !! Riekie, Ajay, Corne, Carlin, sa2auz, Sassy, Massyn, Jacobus and I ( to name but a few) have all since moved here !! You won't ever want to go anywhere else !! You are writing from a particularly interesting part of the world. You are really lucky to have gotten in, as I know many of the smaller islands are very iffy about the kind of folks they take in. GOOD ON YOU !! We seriously considered one of the channel islands for a looooong time, but as we would never be allowed to own property we decided against it in the end. Sorry that Australia's system failed you in a way, but I'm very glad to hear that you are happy where you are nonetheless. Good ol' Saffer boer maak 'n plan spirit there, Gotta love a good Saffer !!Welcome again, looking forward to having you on our forum.Love from the VIBED city of Sydney Sunshine sister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
